The angle of elevation of the top of a tower is 38 degreese from a point (A) duesouth of it. The angle of elevation of the top of the tower from another point ( B), due east of the tower is 29 degreese. Find the height of the tower if the distance AB is 50m.

BTW, I did not write this problem down. I found it somewhere else and pasted it here. I went through this problem with a friend and we had conflicting views on how to answer it. I am pretty sure he is right, but some clarification would be helpful. After I get a fews answers I'll put the answers we had.

Let the top of the tower be T and the bottom of the tower be O. Let the height of the tower be x.

Mr. F,
IF you make a typo, what's the best way to let you know?
or is that considered an intentional instructional issue?

I make typos all the time. Keeps the OP on his/her toes. However, IF you spot a mistake you should feel free to point it out if you want to. The worst that will happen is that I'll ban you (only kidding).
